Depends on what you're doing. If you're actually going with the Bojack story and not making a shitty 40 minutes Toei movie that follows an incredibly predictable formula, then.... yes you should make the tournament fights decent. Giving good scenes to some beloved characters would be a great thing. People loved the Tenshinhan vs Trunks fight in this movie.
People seem to mistake what Toriyama did correctly (like using another cast in the Buu arc, making it about Buu, Satan, Gotenks, Piccolo...) with "only 3 guys should get scenes and nobody else should".
Hell, by that logic, why even give Krillin time to shine against Nappa? Offscreen him. Why even bother with the Earthlings fighting Nappa and landing some hits and trying multiple plans with varying levels of success? (although of course Goku is the one who can actually beat him, SURVIVING until Goku got there was paramount)
